Light incident normally on a plane mirror attached to a galvanometer coil retraces its path as shown in the figure. $A$ current in the coil produces a deflection of $3.5^{\circ}$ of the mirror. What is the displacement (in $cm$) of the reflected spot of light on a screen placed $1.5\; m$ away?

  • A
    $30.6$
  • B
    $14.9$
  • C
    $24.3$
  • D
    $18.4$

The image of an object $O$ due to reflection from the surface of a lake is elongated due to the ripples on the water surface caused by a light breeze. This is because the ripples act as tilted mirrors as shown below. Consider the case,where $O$ and the observer $E$ are at the same height above the surface of the lake. If the maximum angle that the ripples make with the horizontal is $\alpha$,then the angular extent $\delta$ of the image will be

Two mirrors at an angle $\theta^{\circ}$ produce $5$ images of a point. The number of images produced when $\theta$ is decreased to $\theta^{\circ}-30^{\circ}$ is

Two long plane mirrors $M_1$ and $M_2$ are kept inclined to each other. The angle between reflecting surfaces is $40^o$. $A$ light ray strikes mirror $M_1$ at an angle of $30^o$ with the normal. The maximum number of reflections the ray will undergo is:

Two plane mirrors are kept on a horizontal table making an angle $\theta$ with each other as shown schematically in the figure. The angle $\theta$ is such that any ray of light reflected after striking both the mirrors returns parallel to its incident path. For this to happen,the value of $\theta$ should be (in $^{\circ}$)

$A$ point object is kept in front of a plane mirror. The plane mirror is performing $SHM$ with an amplitude of $2 \ cm$. The plane mirror moves along the $x$-axis,and the $x$-axis is normal to the mirror. The amplitude of the mirror is such that the object is always in front of the mirror. The amplitude of the $SHM$ of the image is ....... $cm$.
